Dear Steemians,

This is the 8^th update post for the Fundition.io project I have created with regards to the fundraising for flood relief activities in the form of the donations to the Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund in the South Indian State of Kerala with a link to the Fundition.io project: https://fundition.io/#!/@coolguy123/9a52q7rmd

Updates for today:

We have an important update with regards to re-construction of houses in flood affected areas.

Financial Services Secretary had a discussion with National Housing Bank(NHB) and confirmed that NHB will provide housing loan of INR 200 Crore at concessional interest rate.

Banks have also confirmed that, there won't be charges for not maintaining the minimum balance, cheque book requests and ATM withdrawals and the ATM withdrawal limit will be increased in order to allow sufficient money withdrawal for the people.

Another update with regards to banks is that soiled, mutilated and defective notes will be collected in banks and will be sent to Reserve Bank of India for getting changes notes.

In another update, Reliance Foundation chairperson, Nita Ambani visited relief camps in Alappuzha and interacted with families and confirmed that the Reliance Foundation will be donating INR 21 Crore to Chief Minister's Relief Fund.

Update on donation received for this project:

As part of this fund raising project, so far approximately 50% of the first goal of 500$ is raised as we can see in the below screenshot.

Please note that, even though it's approximately 250$, the actual amount that can be realized will be 37.5% of that amount as 25% will go for curation and remaining 37.5% will be in the form of SP and will take 13 weeks to get it converted into Steem.

Let's keep doing what we have done for last one week and I would request all again to resteem this to make it reachable to as many as possible.

Thanks to all those who are supporting this cause.

Thanks for the votes, comments and resteems.
